The result is not quite the same as with vimdiff, but the difference is minimal. Two observations though. 1. The "silent 4b" is ignored, since bufdo makes the last buffer the current buffer, so if you want a different buffer you have to make the switch *after* bufdo. 2. You probably want to do "set hidden" on all the modes. I don't see the need for all this complexity for this simple mode, but anything that actually works is fine by me. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
